You’d never know from looking that Kane what he’s been through, as he runs around bright-eyed with his tail wagging.

“He was locked in a closet, he was tased and punched, definitely underfed, malnourished,” Diane William’s said.

Williams of West Chester said the dog belonged to her grandkid’s dad, who passed away last year.When William’s rescued him in November, Kane only weighed 20 pounds. She nursed him back to health, but couldn’t keep the 7-month-old puppy, who became just too much for her family to handle.

Joseph’s Legacy jumped in to assist.

“There was just something about this one I wanted to help because he'd already been through so much. With abuse and starving,” said Joseph’s Legacy president Meg Melampy.

Maggie Theders who is a proud parent of four pups and she wanted to help keep Kane out of a shelter and volunteered to foster him.

“I saw his story and I just couldn't. I was like there's no way this dog is going back to the shelter after everything he's been through,” said Maggie Theders of Mainville.

Now they’re hoping someone falls in love with this puppy and is able to adopt Kane.

“He deserves a last chance to get a good home,” Melampy said.

Kane needs a home preferably without other dogs and he is extremely protective. Kane does still need some training, but would be a loving addition to a family.
